Look one way and you see tons of high-end cosmetics calling your name. Look the other way and you're met with aisles of drugstore favorites. Walk towards the back and you'll find hair-care products and brands you never knew existed. And don't even get us started on the coupons.

It can be difficult to know exactly where to look when you're surrounded by all these options. We previously asked Sephora and Lush employees to pick out their favorites, so we decided to talk to people who work at Ulta Beauty to find out their picks for the best products in the entire store.

Here are their recommendations.

Too Faced — Hangover Replenishing Face Primer

Ulta employee Lydia thinks this coconut water-infused primer is a "must have" first step for any beauty routine. "I honestly notice a difference in my makeup application and longevity," she told INSIDER. She also thinks it's perfect for any skin type because she finds it adds just the right amount of hydration without feeling too oily.

Benefit Cosmetics — The POREfessional Face Primer

This oil-free primer is Allison's pick for her favorite product because of its lightweight and smooth consistency. She's not the only one who seems to love this product — it holds the title of the top-selling prestige face primer in the US.

Too Faced — Born This Way Absolute Perfection Foundation

It can be tough to find a good foundation, but Thomas thinks Too Faced's Born This Way Absolute Perfection Foundation is the way to go. "It has buildable coverage and I love the natural finish," he told INSIDER.

Tarte — Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Contour Concealer

This Tarte concealer has become a favorite within the online beauty community, and Lexy can see why. "It's a great under eye concealer that doesn't look cakey and it doesn't crease," she said. She also recommends it for highlighting so it offers a little more bang for your buck.

Too Faced — Peanut Butter & Jelly Eyeshadow Palette

As well as the cute packaging and "amazing smell," Morgan likes the unique looks she can pull off with this Too Faced palette. "I use the Banana shade as a highlight," she told INSIDER. "And you can create such a gorgeous orange eye with this palette."

Skyn Iceland — Face-Lift-In-A-Bag

Miranda told us she tends to favor skin care products, and Skyn Iceland's Face-Lift-In-A-Bag is her favorite item in the store. "It's got everything you need in one bag," she told us. "I'm turning 40 soon, so I love using good treatments like this."

Clarisonic — Mia 1 Skin Cleansing System

"It's the one product I use religiously and on a daily basis," Ulta employee Nicole told INSIDER about the Clarisonic Cleansing System. The Mia 1 is the most popular on Ulta's site, with a 4.5/5 star rating and over 1,000 reviews.

Dermalogica — Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash

Natasha's favorite is the Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash by Dermalogica, especially for those with acne-prone skin. "It's the only thing I've used that gets rid of my acne without irritating my skin," she said. "I noticed a difference within a few days."

Sebastian — Whipped Creme

Hair care is an often overlooked section of Ulta, but it's home to one of Lee's favorite items. Her pick for the best product in the store goes to the Whipped Creme by Sebastian because "it works so well for curly or wavy hair."

Perricone MD — High Potency Face Firming Activator

This firming product used to only be available through dermatologists, but is now an Ulta favorite. "It's helped my skin texture, firmness and and some of deeper lines as well as fine lines," former employee and Reddit user Human_House_Cat told us.

NYX — Matte Liquid Liner

Getting an even, smooth line with liquid eyeliner is always a challenge, but former employee and Reddit user Human_House_Cat thinks this product by NYX does the trick. "I've tried several liquid liners, but felt tips just don't lay down enough product for a smooth line," the employee told INSIDER. "This small brush does the trick in a single stroke."

Smashbox — Photo Finish Primerizer

Smashbox's popular primer is also a moisturizer, and Ulta employee Sierra is a huge fan. "You could use it before makeup or just on its own, either way it's amazing," she told us. "Something I will never stop using because it leaves my makeup flawless everytime."

Anastasia Beverly Hills — Dipbrow Pomade

This brow pomade is one of Anastasia Beverly Hills' most popular products, and it's Bailey's pick for her favorite item in the store. The pomade is meant to be applied with an angled brow brush to easily outline and fill brows.

BEACHWAVER CO. — Beachwaver PRO Curling Iron

Coley claims that this tool will make curling your hair a breeze. "I always seemed to struggle with using a curling iron but this tool makes it super easy," she told INSIDER. "All you have to do is clip a section of your hair, press a button, and it curls the hair for you."

Living Proof — Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo

Andrea said it's tough to choose one favorite, but she reaches for this one most often. "It absorbs oil, sweat, and odor, while actually cleaning the hair," Andrea said. "It gives volume and doesn't leave a residue on any hair type."

REDKEN — Color Extend Vinegar Hair Rinse

This versatile rinse can replace either your shampoo or conditioner — or you can simply apply it as a treatment — and Ulta Beauty employee Susanne loves the results. "It contains Apple Cider Vinegar to gently cleanse and re-balance the hair's pH levels which gives an incredible shine and seals the cuticle," she said.
